Let me tell you what a scar is: An open wound — unhealed A love — unfulfilled A dream — crushed A smile — unformed A friend — lost A mother — dead A desire — caged A life — unlived But death — not yet. Not yet, my friend. Not even when hope’s vanished. […]

I know there’s a God in us. An angel in her. A messiah in him. A believer in me. I know there’s a devil too. A Satan lurking somewhere close. Hiding its face, clenching-unclenching its restless claws. Ready to pounce. We have chained it. In our minds. And hearts. We have made devils of our […]

Only when I write, does the world start to make any sense. And the sun actually rises. Only when I write does the dal taste better. And the tea smells of ginger. Only when I write do I hear the talk, laugh with the laughter– notice the colours and the pointed edges. When I write, […]
